I've read The Alchemist, The Psychology of Money, Do Epic Shit, The Art of Being Alone, The Art of Laziness, Ikigai, and The Subtle Art of Not Giving a Fck*. After reading so many self-help books, I'm honestly getting bored of the genre.

I recently bought Butter because I wanted to try something different, but now I'm wondering if it was the right choice.

Every year, thousands of young people join India Post as GDS hoping it's the beginning of a stable career.

Then reality begins.

You're paid for limited hours, but the work rarely ends there. You're expected to stay longer, chase targets, sell insurance that people don't want, convince customers to open accounts, and somehow meet expectations with systems that still belong to another era.

When recruitment happens, you're told you're part of the backbone of the postal system. When benefits and pay are discussed, suddenly you're treated differently.

The irony is painful.

Young people join wanting to serve, to build a future, to support their families. Instead, many spend their twenties worrying about targets, delayed incentives, and whether ₹15,000 is enough to survive another month.

This isn't about avoiding hard work. Most GDS employees work hard every single day.

It's about being expected to do more while being valued less.

India Post cannot keep expecting 2026 performance with yesterday's systems and yesterday's pay.

It's sad to see young talent being exploited through low pay, increasing work pressure, and very little recognition, even though GDS employees keep the system running in thousands of villages and towns across the country.

If you're a current or former GDS, I'd genuinely like to know: is your experience different, or does this sound familiar?

I'm free this Sunday and wanted to make the most of it. Are there any job drives, walk-in interviews, career fairs, networking events, workshops, or other interesting events happening in Hyderabad this Sunday?

I'm open to attending anything that could help with career growth or meeting new people. If you know of anything, please let me know.

​

I'm currently working, but I'm looking for better opportunities and was wondering if anyone knows of any walk-in interviews, hiring drives, job fairs, or recruitment events happening tomorrow anywhere in Hyderabad.

I'm open to entry-level roles in BPOs, customer support, operations, admin, or similar positions.

To be honest, this isn't just about getting a job. I've been an introvert for most of my life and usually stay at home when I'm not working. I've decided to push myself out of my comfort zone, start talking to people, attend interviews, and gain confidence. Even if I don't get selected, I think the experience itself will help me grow.

I'm a shy, innocent guy and was always the first-bench kid in school. In 10th grade, I liked a girl and told her. I was actually confident back then, teachers liked me, and I was somewhat popular. But she used to avoid me in front of my friends and teachers, even though everyone knew the rumors. I thought maybe it was because I came from a middle-class family, so I let it go.

​

In the same class, I made friends, but over time I felt they mostly used me, talked down to me, and made fun of me. Whenever I told them I didn't like those jokes, they laughed and said, "Go hang out with others or seniors, they'll treat you even worse." They'd also tell me not to be shy and say that if I didn't change, I'd end up alone.

​

Lately, I've started feeling like they're toxic. I only meet them if they come to my house. The weird thing is, they're addictive. When I'm with them, I laugh and my mind relaxes for a while, but deep inside I feel sad and like I'm wasting time. There are three of them, and the others only contact me when they need some help. After that, they disappear until they need something again.

​

After 10th grade, my interaction with girls became almost zero. In 12th grade, I only talked to two girls. I had the mindset that if someone wanted to talk to me, they would come to me. Sometimes I worried I looked desperate.

​

During my degree, I worked alongside college, so I only attended exams. I made a lot of male friends but had almost no interaction with women. In my previous government office, there were women of all ages, but I only talked to them if work required it. Over time, my social skills around women became terrible.

​

Now I work in a single-handed office with only two employees. Whenever a beautiful girl or any young woman comes to the office, I start fumbling and become awkward.

​

For the last 5-6 years, it's been like this. I don't know if I'll ever have a girlfriend. I've honestly lost hope. Sometimes I just want to masturbate and sleep, but today I felt like typing this instead.

​

I worry that women around me somehow get "creepy" or "crazy male" vibes from me. For example, my manager has been on leave for the last five days, and a female officer around my age was sent from the head office. She barely talks to me. One day I said, "Madam, you don't talk much," and she just nodded. She doesn't really look at me when speaking, but I hear her talking loudly and comfortably on phone calls.

​

It made me feel like she sees me as some kind of dangerous or creepy person, like I'm a monster who would harm her if I lost control. But I've never behaved inappropriately or spoken rudely to her.

​

These last five days affected me so much that I came home and cried alone in the bathroom.

Qualcuno è passato per questa fase? La mia schermata è diventata un casino e più aggiungo strumenti più mi confondo. Ho provato a togliere ma poi mi sembra di perdere informazioni utili e finisco per rimetterli.

Stavo guardando qualche screenshot dell'interfaccia web di AvaTrade e visivamente sembra abbastanza ordinata rispetto ad altre che ho visto. Qualcuno la usa regolarmente? Regge bene quando i mercati sono mossi o inizia a rallentare?

I've spent years trying to organize reusable code.

I've tried:

●     snippet managers

●     internal libraries

●     private repositories

●     documentation systems

Everything works initially.

Then projects evolve, code diverges, and suddenly there are multiple versions of the same utility everywhere.

At this point I'm wondering if perfect organization simply isn't realistic.

How are experienced developers handling this?

My chest hurts so much...
